I know this was been discussed many times but i need your assistant.
I'm planning to replace my old OEM DVD car stereo with aftermarket system.
In my place normally Pioneer brand is available and i found one brand AVH-X2500BT DVD Car Stereo.

1. Can i use the Pioneer AVH-X2500BT for my Touareg?
2. Is there any additional accessories i need to purchase? As per the dealer here, the system already have rear cam relay and steering cable included.

Go to Crutchfield.com and use their configurator, then go find somewhere cheaper to buy whatever you choose. I have a 2010 and put in a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX for the Android Auto. The only thing that didn't work that well was the aftermarket steering wheel controls - volume works (incl. mute/attenuate), but that's it - can't change tracks or move between iPod folders. Otherwise, Android Auto is the only way to go (I'm sure Apple Car Play is good too), and the Pioneer sounds great on most of my music - better separation and clarity than the OEM head unit, though some songs must have bass that goes through the factory amp for some reason because I've lost most of their bass - but only some songs. Most others sound way better.

Also, the Scosche faceplate you'll need to get is a one-time fit only - DO NOT attempt a "test fit" unless you have a drill and a second one on hand. I speak from experience. :chainsaw: You'll also probably have to grind down the clips to get it into the opening with the head unit in place, and also trim a bit off the outside edges for your other dash buttons like parking sensors and emergency flashers to not get stuck in the depressed position when you use them. But, the fit and finish otherwise are tight and look like OEM.

I've been meaning to post a how-to with my pics/experiences...just haven't got around to it.

thanks stabone33 for the above info.
i just purchase aftermarket HU and it was installed, everything is working fine except for the rear camera. i believe i need the adapter. do you have idea where i can purchase the adapter?

So we still haven't seen the V13 version of the north american maps come out yet.
I'm still hopeful that it could still come.
But rather than charge people for the V12 maps update, I decided to give back the my favorite community.
You will need the following:
0711 firmware or higher
32gb...

Hi all, I bought this in February and I am ready to start working on it. Or her than window tint and some vag-com coding it is stock.
I went to install a cheap DSP today and the connectors I had were not what was in the factory radio. Anyone know where I can source plug inserts for the 40 pin...

I have one of the Treg's that got the Parking Sensor upgrade and no backup camera apparently due to lack of supply parts for the camera components at time of manufacture.
Does anyone have any suggestions to add a backup camera to these vehicles, without replacing the factory head unit?

So stage one of my stereo upgrade is replacing the 4 loudspeakers in all for doors. (3 of the 4 are blown) with some Kenwood XR-1800 speakers. I chose these speakers cause they were the closest to the size and power of the original Dynaudio speakers. The challenge being how to mount new speakers...

Thanks to another forum, please give THEM an applause.
Should not need any activation. I did some firmware mods afterwards, and then I needed to reactivate. Used activation for older maps without problems.
